All Politics. Nothing but Politics.

Maybe Obama will seek help with BLESSING TURKEYS FOR THANKSGIVING.

But then OBAMA is a TURKEY...

Maybe Obama wants to explain why he closed the US Embassy to the Vatican... No... That might make sense.

What Obama does does not make sense.

Now that the Pope comes across as a Marxist, Obama suddenly wants to hang out with him?

In terms of economics, kindred spirits.

The Pope should have an exorcist handy.

Obama will say the same thing Clinton did when he visited JPII.

Clinton came out of the meeting and made a comment that the Pope and he were now on the same page as far as the issue of pro-life was concerned.

I think it was Cardinal Ratzinger who later proclaimed that Clinton was totally mistaken.

Expect a repeat performance from Barry.

I wonder if the Pope knows he voted against the Born Alive Protection Act.

“If bambaboy thinks the Pope will forgive him, he’s got a lot of shit in his head....”

The previous pope didn’t excommunicate rabid abortion supporter Nancy Pelosi.

It’s all politics.

“Comes across” if you read the liberal media.

Obama thinks he’s down with Catholic social teaching, but he’s going to run into a brick wall if he says the word “abortion” around this Pope.

Will he demand the Pope cover all crucifixes at the Vatican so as not to offend anyone?

Maybe! now that the Pope just criticized abortion today, maybe Obama is going to try and get him back on the socialist train.

“Clinton came out of the meeting and made a comment that the Pope and he were now on the same page as far as the issue of pro-life was concerned.”

With “same page” being defined as “agreeing with the liberal democrat pro-abortion position”, not the other way around.

After pictures of 0bama sitting in Rosa Parks seat on the bus, and inside Nelson’s jail cell, just imagine how creative he will be! With just a few pictures, now he’ll take credit for the Catholic church!

Exactly. They both seem to have contempt for free market capitalism and limited government.
